"Yu Shi Zhang Cang, I have met the young master." A middle-aged man with long, plump white clothes and flowing sleeves saluted Fusu respectfully.
Seeing Zhang Cang's effort, Fusu couldn't help but smile. For some reason, every time he saw Zhang Cang, he always felt a little happy, especially when he compared Zhang Cang with the lean officials around him.
Fusu smiled and said, "Yu Shi Zhang doesn't need to be polite."
Zhang Cang nodded, supported his waist, and slowly stood up straight.
He was already slightly out of breath.
Fusu didn't exchange too many greetings, and said straight to the point: "I just came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I specifically looked for you because I was confused."
"Young Master, it's okay to ask." Zhang Cang looked calm.
Fusu raised his head slightly and said, "I went to the imperial prison yesterday. You should know about this."
Zhang Cang nodded.
He is the censor of the Yushi Mansion. Although he is in charge of the officials' plans, he can still hear some news, and the imperial edict is the prison under the Yushi Mansion.
Fusu said: "When Ji Heng left yesterday, he left a special question."
"He mentioned that the most difficult conflict between Da Qin and Guandong was Wei's private schools...Qi's wealthy merchants, and asked, if Da Qin continues to be so high-handed, where in the world will rebel? What will happen again? Who will be the first to rebel? I have an answer in my mind, but I’m a little unsure.”
"So I want to invite Yushi Zhang..."
But before Fusu finished speaking, Zhang Cang stumbled and fell to the ground. His body was shaking like chaff, his face was pale, and his eyes when he looked at Fusu were full of resentment and fear.
He was really scared.
The last time Fusu called him, he was scared to death.
During this period, I have been trembling with fear, fearing that something might go wrong in political affairs, which would cause the First Emperor to be dissatisfied, so he took advantage of the situation to deal with it himself. But the last incident has not settled yet, and it happened again?
Who can withstand this?
Fusu was the son of the Qin Dynasty. Even if the First Emperor knew about it, he would not blame him too much.
But he's not.
He is just an ordinary censor.
Although he boasts of countless strategies, he cannot bear this trouble.
Zhang Cang said hurriedly: "Master, please stop talking nonsense."
"Under the rule of Your Majesty, the great Qin Dynasty's frontier officers and soldiers have made great achievements, the officials on duty in counties and counties have worked hard to serve their duties, and the leaders of Guizhou in the world have a prosperous life, and there is no need to worry about what the young master said."
"Ji Heng is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. Master, please do not believe those inappropriate words."
Fusu raised his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Yushi Zhang, Fusu won't be gullible. He just has doubts in his heart and wants to ask Yushi Zhang to clarify his doubts. Yushi Zhang, don't panic. This is just an academic discussion." "
Zhang Cang said seriously: "There is no possibility of discussion."
"If the young master still wants to ask these inappropriate questions, then the young master can leave. Zhang Cang is not talented and cannot answer this question."
"And the Young Master's question will never happen."
Zhang Cang's tone was extremely firm.
There is no room for argument.
Fusu looked deeply at Zhang Cang, then at the deserted surroundings, and said in a solemn voice: "Zhang Yushi, I have already withdrawn from the people around me, are you still so afraid to speak?"
Zhang Cang remained silent.
a long time.
Fusu sighed and said, "That's all, since you don't want to speak, I won't force you."
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Cang bowed deeply and said: "Master, Ji Heng is indeed talented, but after all, he is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, and he may not really be of the same mind as the Master. Just listen to what you say, and don't make it public. , let alone mention it to His Majesty or others."
“Too many words lead to mistakes.”
"Also beware of misfortune coming from your mouth."
"Fusu would like to be taught." Fusu stood up from the case and bowed deeply.
"Zhang Cang is narrow-minded and can't trust the young master, let alone be so generous as the young master." Zhang Cang also bowed deeply.
Fu Su said: "I won't mention this matter anymore. Ji Heng also said one thing yesterday, the law is Confucianism. What do you think of this point of view?"
Zhang Cang didn't speak in a hurry, and wandered around the room. After thinking for a moment, he calmly said: "This point of view is correct or not."
"I studied under Xunzi."
"Master is the master of Confucianism in this world."
"And my Master's teachings are significantly different from the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. The teachings of Confucius and Mencius are called 'Dharma First King', while my Master's teachings are 'Dharma Queen King'."
"Faxian Wang is value rational."
"The queen of law is instrumental rationality."
"But is there really an unbridgeable gap between the two?"
"I'm afraid not necessarily."
"The Master once taught from 'ritual' to 'law', which is a natural extension of the idea of reconstructing social order. The past 'ritual' is not enough to punish people's hearts and rectify society, so more mandatory 'law' must be used .”
"Dharma and etiquette are actually based on 'human nature'."
"One believes that human nature is inherently good, and the other believes that human nature is inherently evil. But good and evil are actually human beings, but they manifest themselves differently at different times."
"The Confucianism was based on the needs of the monarch at that time to strengthen his army and defeat the enemy. He put forward the viewpoint of 'the queen of law' and the theory of evil nature', and paid attention to severe punishments and laws. Therefore, in terms of true theory, Confucianism of Confucius has evolved from the etiquette of Confucius and Mencius. Confucianism transformed into legal Confucianism, which placed equal emphasis on etiquette and law.”
"Confucianism is the law, and law is the Confucianism. This is actually correct."
"Prime Minister Li is even worse."
"He has Confucianism as the surface, and law as the exterior and interior."
"Prime Minister Li once wrote in "The Book of Xingdu Zhi Shu": A wise master must be able to carry out the art of supervising and responsibilities in an all-round way. If he supervises and responsibilities, the ministers will not dare to continue to favor his master. Come on. If the division of ministers and masters is determined and the righteousness of superiors and subordinates is clear, then no one in the world who is virtuous or unworthy will dare to do his best to favor his king. Therefore, the master alone controls the world and has no control. It is the ultimate happiness to be poor. You are a wise master, but you don’t notice it!”
"The wise ruler is arbitrary, so the power does not lie with the ministers. Then he can destroy the path of benevolence and righteousness, cover up the mouth of Chi Chi, and trap the march of martyrs. He blocks his intelligence and conceals his knowledge, and only sees and hears inside. Therefore, the conduct of benevolence and righteousness martyrs cannot be used externally, and You can't use it to remonstrate, argue, or argue with others. Therefore, you can act with a willful heart and no one dares to rebel."
"Prime Minister Li has blatantly advocated that the monarch wields power alone and makes decisions arbitrarily."
"These views are completely contrary to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius."
"It can be called Confucianism and Legalism!"
"The reason why it still contains the word 'Confucianism' is because Prime Minister Li continued and extended it on the basis of Confucius' studies, but he was more biased towards the law."
"The Master is a Confucian scholar, and he is a Confucian scholar."
"It's different from Confucius and Mencius, but it comes from Master both externally and internally."
Hear the words.
Fusu was thoughtful.
He then asked: "What about Han Feizi?"
Zhang Cang shook his head and said: "Han Feizi is different. He has completely broken away from Confucianism."
"Only accept the theory of 'evil nature'."
"He firmly believed that human nature is inherently evil and cannot be changed."
"When he was studying, Han Feizi was different from others. He not only looked at Confucianism, but also looked at a lot of other theories. He gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and put forward many different views and opinions. In this regard, Prime Minister Li and I are not as good as he."
"Moreover, Han Feizi was deeply impressed by his master's eloquence."
"Just because of my stutter, I didn't show off my talents."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Cang stopped talking.
